"I know you don't personally owe me that, but the universe does!" stated Tyson Apostol after doubling through Zhihao Zhang.

The board read {7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Apostol held {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} against Zhang's {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} for a rivered set to double through to 34,000 in chips.

Gates on Top

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Garry Gates
Garry Gates

Garry Gates opened with a raise to 2,500 and the big blind called to see a {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop.

Gates continued for 2,200 and the big blind check-called as the {5-Clubs} rolled off on the turn.

The big blind checked, Gates bet 4,200, and the big blind folded.

With that pot, Gates is now the chip leader with just under 80,000 in chips.

Martin Takes Lead

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

On a board of {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} with roughly 15,000 in the middle, Kevin Martin checked over to Lee Jones who opted to bet out 10,000.

Martin called, and when the river landed the {Q-Diamonds}, both players checked.

"I have a four!" announced Jones before Martin tabled his {K-Spades}{10-Clubs} for trips.

With that pot, Martin moves into the chip lead with 88,000 while Jones drops back down to 65,000.

Capps Calls Barrels

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Jesse Capps
Jesse Capps

We didn't see the flop action, but both Jesse Capps, on the button, and his opponent in the big blind put 3,000 in on an {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop. Capps called another barrel of 7,000 on the {9-Spades} turn and a further barrel of 11,000 on the {3-Diamonds} river. Capps showed {j-}{9-} and his second pair was good.
